Comments for Errors

As I am trying to be more organized and become a better student, I will separate between the reply for Nuala/readers and my blog. Thank you for visiting this blog, it's super nice because I feel like I'm having lots of friends from around the world :)

I will send your regards to the kittens when I get the chance to meet them again, Nuala. I don't know why you want to have them in English Learning office; I'm guessing that they might brighten up the room? I know that office can be a cold environment with lack of natural surrounding. The idea of having people sitting on their own computer is making the room even colder.

The Caledonia ad you sent is nice, Nuala... Thanks to that, I know now that it refers to Scotland. I honestly don't know much about your country, except that a friend of mine got married to a-quite-handsome-Scottish and it was interesting to attend their wedding ceremony and reception. All of the Scottish gents were wearing tartan clothes (the name is kilt, right?) at the wedding ceremony, and later that day they were having a reception in an exotic Asian restaurant. Do most of people in Europe like to drink? Maybe in Europe it's because of the weather ya, but the habit might still linger on wherever they go. What does "tennent" mean? You're right, emotional ads are often made for things that bad for us. Even though I've promised myself not to make a cigarette commercials, but you make me feel a bit guilty there.

Wow, you ride bike to work. It's such a rare thing in Jakarta, but I had always wanted to do that. Maybe one day I would actually have the nerve to do it... I personally think that I am a city girl. Living in the city has its own challenge and dynamic that I would definitely miss when I am in a smaller city. However, I'm still curious whether I would survive living in Tokyo or New York, knowing that Jakarta is still nothing compared to those big metropolitan.

I have made some revisions as a response to your advice:
Every Friday … many employees conduct/ do Friday prayer.

The good news is that the other team from my company come through as the winner.

I love the majestic feeling that they have created and how the song had reminded people of the packaging color.

When I watch a movie or read a book...

Since then, those kittens practically have been living there and taking care by the studio crews.

Patrick Swayze RIP. He was quite a charming actor, wasn't he?


I hope I have fixed some "damages" in my writing *smile*.

Reply for reader's comment:

Thanks for sharing your favorite movie list, Queen, Vladimir, and Celine. I'll definitely write down ''Cat on a Hot Tin Roof'' and "Interstate 60" on my next-to-watch list. Of course, "Gone with the Wind" and "Casablanca" are legends that we should always pass on to next generation. I also like "Slumdog Millionaire" (thanks to the OST by A.R. Rahman), although I feel the movie is kind of portraying Mumbai erratically. If you ever visited the city, you would understand what I mean.
